I insist

Chapter 543: Marriage

Seeing that the two of them remained silent, Song Miqiu became even more anxious: "I'm asking you a question, why aren't you answering? Where did you put the child?"

Upon hearing the voice, Tian Yumei realized what was happening and quickly said, "No, we've been taking the child with us. We were going to the palace, and we didn't tell them about you."

So we didn't bring them here. They're at the inn now, in the courtyard from back then..."

The courtyard was bought by Song Miqiu. Although they said they would settle in the capital and live in the original courtyard, they still had to tell her.

Song Miqiu then realized that she had regained her identity and was no longer their mother, so she could no longer question them like that.

"I'm sorry, I guess it's just a habit of mine, that's why I talk to you like this. Please don't mind," Song Miqiu explained apologetically.

Qiu Tianlei shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, we've gotten used to it."

"Then you should hurry up and tidy up the courtyard. Staying at the inn all the time isn't going to work, and you're going to have to pay extra. Make sure the courtyard is tidy up today."

"You can move in today. Here's what we'll do: I'll send someone with you. Hurry up and get ready, move in as soon as possible. Don't refuse!"

Song Miqiu was halfway through her sentence when she saw Tian Yumei about to speak, so she quickly stopped her, not wanting to hear her refuse.

Since things had already come to this point, Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei naturally wouldn't say anything and could only let Song Miqiu make arrangements; they would all listen to her.

Song Miqiu had a few people help them tidy up the courtyard, and then watched them leave the palace.

As Song Miqiu walked into the palace, she kept thinking about what Tian Yumei had said. She was very grateful to him because he had thought of everything that she hadn't thought of.

She felt that she should do something to express her gratitude to him, and she suddenly smiled, already knowing what she should do.

When Yu Huailin returned to the palace, he found Song Miqiu standing by the dining table, looking at him with a smile on her face.

He glanced down at the food on the table. The food was different from what the imperial kitchen had prepared, and he guessed that Song Miqiu had cooked it himself.

However, he still asked, "Did you cook all this? I had no idea you could cook."

"I can cook, of course, but it's not as good as what the imperial kitchen makes. If you don't like it, you don't have to eat it, and the imperial kitchen can prepare another one."

Song Miqiu took the initiative to walk up to Yu Huailin, reached out and grabbed his hand, led him to the dining table, and said with a smile.

Yu Huailin sat at the dining table, his eyes filled with surprise, and said, "What you made must be especially delicious, even better than the food in the imperial kitchen for me."

Yu Huailin was touched that Song Miqiu cooked for him, but he was curious as to why she suddenly started cooking for him.

Before he could say anything, Song Miqiu sat down next to him, poured him a glass of wine, then raised her own glass, smiling as she said, "Today, I'm actually here to thank you..."

Today I met Qiu Tianlei and Tian Yumei, and I learned a lot. I am very grateful to you for doing so much for me in places I didn't know about.

Yu Huailin was flattered and quickly took a sip of wine, then said with a smile, "You don't need to thank me. I also consider them family. I've already thought about how they should live in the future."

"Really? Tell me about it." Song Miqiu poured him another glass of wine and asked with a smile.

“Qiu Tianlei can become a royal merchant in the future. That way, I can guarantee them a life of wealth and peace. What do you think?” Yu Huailin looked at Song Miqiu.

Actually, he was a little uneasy. His savior was someone who could only become a merchant, even though he could have been an official.

Yu Huailin was clearly overthinking things. Song Miqiu knew perfectly well that Qiu Tianlei was not cut out to be an official and would be better off as a royal merchant, which would be better for his family.

Seeing that Song Miqiu remained silent, Yu Huailin became even more frightened. He cautiously asked, "Do you think my arrangements weren't good?"

If you have a better plan, please let me know, and I'll do it.

Seeing him like this, Song Miqiu couldn't help but laugh: "We're almost husband and wife, why are you so nervous about this?"

I think your arrangement is excellent. I know Qiu Tianlei lacks the ability to be an official, so this is for the best. Just like you said, this way they can live a peaceful and prosperous life.

Yu Huailin breathed a sigh of relief: "I wasn't nervous, I was afraid you would think I hadn't arranged things well, since I hadn't discussed this with you. Fortunately, that's what you thought too."

"You don't need to be so careful in the future. We are husband and wife, and we know each other very well. I know that everything you do is carefully considered."

If it's about me, you can just tell me in advance. If I really feel I shouldn't do it, I'll tell you too. We need to be honest with each other, right?

Seeing Yu Huailin like this, Song Miqiu couldn't help but speak up.

Yu Huailin smiled slightly: "Actually, I was nervous too. I finally managed to marry you, so naturally I have to protect you carefully."

Upon hearing this, Song Miqiu leaned against Yu Huailin's chest, a slight smile playing on her lips. Her previous nervousness vanished instantly because of his words.

Perhaps it's because she knows he will truly love her that she's not afraid, nor does she need to worry about being mistreated if she marries him.

Yu Huailin was even happier that Song Miqiu was so proactive, and he reached out and hugged her tightly.

Soon the wedding day arrived, and after a series of complicated procedures, the couple finally got married and held a wedding ceremony at the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Having finally returned to the palace, Song Miqiu sat on the bed dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding robes. Dragon and phoenix candles were burning on the table, and there were many red dates, longans, and other such things on the bed.

Although she had always thought she wouldn't be nervous, she was still nervous when the day actually arrived, and she clenched her hands tightly on her abdomen.

Perhaps due to nervousness, Song Miqiu had no idea how much time had passed; she only heard footsteps approaching.

Then she heard the matchmaker's voice, saying a lot of auspicious words, and then her veil was lifted.

Song Miqiu suddenly felt a light in her eyes. She slowly looked up at Yu Huailin standing in front of her, and then lowered her head shyly.

When Yu Huailin saw the stunningly beautiful Song Miqiu for the first time, he was momentarily speechless and did exactly as the matchmaker instructed.

As for what he did, Yu Huailin had no idea.

After everything was done, Yu Huailin smiled and said, "Good, reward me."
